Hunter Fraser, "The evolution and genetic basis of complex traits"

Hunter Fraser is Assistant Professor of Biology at Stanford University. The Fraser Lab studies the regulation and evolution of gene expression using a combination of experimental and computational approaches. Their work brings together quantitative genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and evolutionary biology to achieve a deeper understanding of how genetic variation within and between species affects genome-wide gene expression and ultimately shapes the phenotypic diversity of life. Professor Fraser is the recipient of an NIH New Innovator Award, a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and a Terman Fellowship.
